A Brief History

I helped small businesses design computer networks to fit their needs and then helped them procure the computers, cabling, switches, routers, etc. along with the operating systems and office software. Then I would build their network and maintain it. Part of this maintenance was user support, which included explaining how things would work together in the network. I also taught small classes for word processing and spreadsheets.

Although I became proficient at a number of programming languages and algorithms, including assembly and machine languages, I have not had to use those skills, aside from the occasional batch file or bash script. However, if needed, I can also troubleshoot code.

Chip (Benjamin) has been my IT consultant for both my business and personal systems for >20 years. He's resolved every problem that's ever come up, and maintained our systems at optimum performance and reliability. He has, in fact, allowed us to continue using many computers and routers well past their design service date. Excellent service, knowledge, and performance.
